New York, Here We Come!

Got the best news in the world today! My fiance got the job he interviewed for! He's going to be a Web Developer for the NEW YORK TIMES!!! :) The starting salary is wonderful, and he's getting a signing bonus that will help (although not completely cover) our vast moving expenses. This makes it officially real - we are off to New York!

The is one minor...thing...though. He is scheduled to start working May 16th - a mere 2 days after graduation, and 5 days after finals end. That makes things even more stressful. We're probably going to have to miss some school to fly out, look at apartments, and sign a lease so we have somewhere to stay. That will be easier than missing finals. We'll be here probably for finals and graduation, and then fly out after graduation to prepare for his first day.

We'll also have to sell/store/get rid of/pack ALL of our possessions, including our furniture and car. We have to plan how and when we'll get our things to NY and when we'll start the moving process. Plus, we now have just about a month to save up for our apartment, moving costs, flying, etc. It's stressful, but I'm so excited! Now, fingers crossed, I'll get into a publishing institute and we'll both have our careers underway literally right after graduation!
